It represents the dawn of modern theatre. All of the great 20th century acting teachers exalted its value for actors’ training. Working on plot, pantomime, comic techniques and the study of universal “types” through the use of masks are invaluable elements of a modern actor’s training. Far from being just an historical art form, through the complexity of its techniques, Commedia dell’arte provides an excellent introduction to any theatrical genre from the most ancient and folkloristic to the most modern and refined. This intensive workshop, through detailed work on these techniques, will show the actor how direct his own character construction development, making use of work that goes from that of Decroux , through Copeau, Jouvet and Stanislawski all the way to that of Barba and Grotowski, which we believe represents the essence of 20th century dramatic acting.
